You're confusing things a bit here, Boom is already an enhanced port and it got the kind of line-to-line teleport that allows you to do this. Crispy and Chocolate Doom are what the community calls "vanilla" Doom, with no enha

Taken case by case, no. The absolute majority of those cases are used to get ISPs to block pirate streaming sites, or sites selling personal data. However, once every few years, a high profile case suspending something like Whatsapp, Youtub

Older versions might be difficult to get in the future, difficulty reproducing results due to that, yadda yadda. It works for most cases, but I can see why changing every year might be a deal breaker for some.

I once did some low-level GPU programming on a project aimed for the Samsung Galaxy S8. It was a case with extra features like an iris and fingerprint scanner, connected via the USB port. It would work perfectly on our test phone and occasi

There's a very simple way around this. Grab any encoding that uses a dictionary, like, I think zip does. Sent tiny zip files with an excerpt of a .wav file or something that needs to be compressed. The decompressed data is always the s

It really isn't that hard once you have to do it, as long as you have the time to get a test / feedback loop with the client going. They probably had a dozen test versions of the Furbies for whoever was doing QA to play around wit

Reminds me of what we dubbed "the cosmic ray incident." During college, we were arranged in groups of 2 or 3 to do some pair programming for the more complicated exercises. I had attached the debugger and had set a variable to 99,

This sort of Java is almost all about boilerplate and patterns. Two or three decent engineers taking a few days to plan for the rest of the project can write 90% of the huge amount of boilerplate that Spring Boot needs. One might say not a

How would it know if you haven't changed your RAM? Consider that using the same settings with different parts might lead to subtle instability, not a full on-boot crash.

I'm curious, how would you handle collaborative editing in nano? All the others seem doable if a bit hacky, but that one confused me.

A bit hard to get things to work. In case anyone else is trying, I got it to compile with go 1.19, and you also need a Street Fighter 2 rom. The roms folder needs both an original sf2.zip and a folder named sf2 with the extra files it gener

It's a very local thing in the sense that outside Brazil it isn't well known. But nearly everyone in the country will have eaten one, it's quite popular. Hell, I like them so much, my wife gets me birthday pastels instead of

The original Doom engine does not have it, but a very popular port called Boom added many new things and one of them was a silent teleporter, as in, walk over a line and get teleported to the same position in a line of the same length somew

Came here to say this, yeah. UDB supports a lot of the fancy new features from ports, like the Eternity Engine portals, or the 3d floors GZDoom gives you. Even if someone wanted to map for good old vanilla limits, the newer nodebuilders can

From my experience a boss battle or a dungeon run in Valheim takes all afternoon, and that's if you have a group supporting each other to make things quicker.

I mean, Newton and Leibniz figured out calculus at the same time in slightly different ways. It is common enough, but still a nice coincidence when it happens.

Oh, I think you misunderstood me. Sorry. I meant like, how can you be sure a compiler would interpret them correctly and give you the exact binary value you wanted. And by different architectures, I meant more like, if you compiled it on In

Genuine question, can you be sure the conversion wouldn't introduce a wrong bit here or there? Maybe in a different architecture or something? I'm not that good with CPUs past 16 bits, this is really out of my comfort zone heh

Ah yes, what a good article; The one time the Brazilian Mises Institute admitted a leftist position in politics was right because it fixed a problem right-wing-economy politicians made it worse over the last decade. One can genuinely laugh

The first sentence, so we know what to expect. Right now, it's very "okay, this is a game, but how does it work?" A pair of screenshots of a game in progress would also help wonders.

You might want to add that to the site, so people don't have to create a game to know how it works.

See, the problem is it's cheaper to pay all the bribes. Morality is good and commendable but in the end money speaks, at least in the shipping industry. The trip around it is way, way more expensive, both in time and fuel.

Didn't Quake require the 487 because it absolutely needed floating point operations, or did it just have horrible framerates without the 487 co-cpu?
